Cotton Yarn Diameter Calculation

Specific gravity of cotton fibres = 1.54 gms/cc

1 1
Specific volume = = = 0.649 cc/gm.
�������� ������� 1.54

In this derivation, yarn has been considered cylindrical in shape, the yarn contains 40% air space in
it and solid space occupied by 60%.

�������� ������ �� ������ ������ ∗ 100

Specific volume of yarn =
60

0.649 ∗ 100
= 60
= 1.081 cc/gm.

Let the count of yarn = Ne

840 ∗ 91.44 ∗ ��
Length of 1 gram yarn =
453.6
= (169.333 * Ne) cm. (1 yard = 91.44 cm)
